1998 Utah Jazz

[PTBG]

The jazz could've won one or both of those finals. The problem was that stockton's overrated ass could never step up an be the 2nd scoring option that Malone always needed. He didnt have to average 25 but get at least 18-20. He sucked offensively in both those series, I understand he was close to but come on

but than who was gonna be the 3rd option? Jeff Hornaeck? Bryon Russel? Greg Ostertag? Carr? they should have chased or tryed to trade to get a really good wind player like a Clyde Drexler or someone or anyone. They had no one that was a great shooter on those Jazz squad's which was what they sucked and lacked the most. There inside out game was great, but they needed that outside presence which they never got during those finals run

Ostertag, carr, and Hornaeck weren't built for it. But since all the other completion out west fell apart the Jazz could still make it to the finals. They were exposed in the finals Offensively tho

The jazz lost when they thought Stockton was a proper number 2 to Karl Malone offensively. Stock just wasn't that GUY, he can't step up and takeover games as a scorer and that put a lot of pressure on Karl(who I think is underrated now in retrospect).

Opposing guards always had a tough time scoring against the Bulls backcourt (Harper/MJ/Pippen).
shyt, MJ held Reggie Miller scoreless in the 2nd half of Game 7 in 1998

Penny used to torch them nikkaz tho

Bruh, it's a fact. Go watch game 6 then talk to me. Your boy Tim donaghy even said it. It went down as the worst officiated game in nba history, LA's own bill platchke published that title

I've already watched a documentary on it on youtube.

But lets blame the refs for Divac not securing that rebound and hitting it to Robert Horry instead.

Lets blame the refs for Peja air balling 3's in OT of game 7

It's time to take responsibility for your teams actions, or lack thereof

Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets 1997 (Game 6 West Conf Finals) - YouTube

One game? I'm talking about the entire 90's

Examples

1.Stockton goes for 14/11 on 39% from the field against the Blazers in 92'.That ain't good enough for my 2nd option
2. 1993 first rd against Seattle, Stockton 14/11. That ain't good enough for my second option
3. 1994 West finals, 14.4/9.4 on 41%.
4.Both 97/98 finals.

He just could never step up offensively when his teams needed him. It's nice to be a distributer but at some point you have to be able to put your squad on your back and go out and score 25-30 On occasion when your other teammates beside malone don't have it, and he never could do it.

Those late 90's jazz teams were overrated, Stockton was close to . The only reason they Got to the finals is because all the teams that used to son them in the playoffs in the early(or that were flat out better) and mid 90's fell off.(suns/rockets/Sonics/Spurs/Blazers etc). And their Defense was Ass

I dont know about all that. Those Jazz teams were pretty good and bench wise they were very deep. Eisley, Carr, Anderson, Keefe, etc were all very good bench players.

Those late 90's Jazz teams were by far their best teams of the decade.

I will agree with you though a little about Seattle, Houston and the Spurs falling off. But I wont take anything away from those Jazz teams. If not for the Bulls, the Jazz beat whoever would've come outta the East at least one year

2002 Sacramento kings, we literally got cheated

To be fair, they did get jobbed even though the Lakers were the better team mainly b/c of Shaq. I still have that game on DVD and it's a shame how they fouled out Scott Pollard so fast. It was obvious fixing, so much so that Vlade was on the bench laughing when Pollard fouled out.

This is the reason I have Gary Payton ahead of him as a player, and the main reason I laugh whenever people suggest Stockton as better than Isiah.

But He didn't drop 20/17 on 50% shooting vs the Showtime Lakers

I agree with you that the kings still had chances. However we weren't just playing the lakers, we were playing the refs too.. Game 7 isn't even what I question, it's game 6. The nba wanted those game 7 ratings
